Is there somewhere that states all the lowering springs for the MPS and the height they drop the car by? I want to find out which springs lower the car the most...

Many want Power not many hold it long.........
Liking this thread....... very informative
Interestingly, from the link that Luke posted above to Mazda 3 Forums (Reply # 2 under Koni FSD - **SUSPENSION GUIDE** Mazdaspeed3 MS3 (What's available, specs, user impressions) ):
Koni site says: "FSD kit must be used with stock height suspension", but they sell kits for many cars with Eibach lowering springs.
I emailed Koni to ask about the discrepancy, the reply was: "When we originally came out with the FSD shocks they were designed for OE height vehicles. So we designated them to be used with stock height suspension. We have since tested the Eibach Pro Kit on select vehicles and found that the FSD will work correctly with it. We have found that the FSD will not work correctly if it is riding on the bump stop or does not have enough travel to engage the special valve that makes FSD what it is."

Well I put on Whiteline front and rear sway bars with a bump stop correction kit
I guess this fixing the bump stop problem

Bump stop correction kit is lower profile stops I assume?
Haha, back in the day we used to just cut 'em down! @MadAussie knows what I'm on about : r31 days!
Sounds like if you want to go lowering springs, go B8s.

Do you mean bump steer???? Cos i dont think bump stops have much to do with tyre wear....

That's correct. Bump Steer and Bump Stop are two very different things
Pete, you would have had the Whiteline Bump Steer correction kit installed, which minimises bump steer (ie the tendency for a wheel/tyre to toe-out under suspension compression)
Bump Stops are rubber/urethane stoppers that stop shock absorbers going beyond their full compression point and damaging themselves.
EDIT: Sorted lol

OT: Does anyone know approx what a set of Billies landed from the states costs?
And noob question, why does nobody go the adjustable coilover option?
